Last fall, Intel found that the master key for its HDCP digital copy protection scheme had been leaked to the Internet, and while the company claimed that it'd require too much effort and money to make proper use of it, it still made it clear that it'd be ready to take legal action against...

The oldest piece of tech I have that's still in use is my computer monitor, the Dell 2408WFP. I bought it in March 2008. The oldest piece of tech I have not being used might be some older graphics cards or CPUs kicking around, though none of those would be much older than four-years-old. I...

It never ceases to impress me what sorts of scam artists these mobile companies are - but all is kosher as far as the government is concerned. Carriers basically force you into a three year plan given if you don't oblige to one, you're out $400+. And then they continue to charge that on phones...

With the onslaught of game releases recently, NVIDIA's driver team sure have their work cut out for them. For the second time this month, NVIDIA has just released a brand-new beta driver that not only improves performance in a number of games, but also adds the ability to enable Ambient...

To those looking to build the biggest, baddest high-end PC around, the wait for Sandy Bridge-E was no doubt painful. But, it's finally here, and much to our expectations, Intel has once again solidified its position as the performance leader. So let's take a look at what it offers, and compare...

All motherboards come with built-in audio cards, and given you are trying to keep this as cheap as possible, buying a discrete one just isn't a reasonable option.

The football world has lost a hero to many today. Gary Speed is a man I loved to watch play and one that I highly respected. He wasn't just a sports star, he seemed to be a genuinely good man. After moving from a player to manager role, he began to clean up the Wales national team, and while...

With Battlefield 3, EA has successfully managed to get millions of gamers to install its Origin game client on their PCs, so what better way to keep people around by offering some killer Black Friday deals on most titles in the entire catalogue? We're talking Steam-like price-drops in some cases...

Doomsday, if there's one thing I can count on you for, it's being as random as possible ;)

I love those old games that ask you to choose between color and monochrome. The memories...

In an attempt to be more efficient with the tasks I need to get done, I've tried various solutions for keeping track of things. I've tried Google Calendar, 'To Do' text files, the robust Evernote, and even just plain old paper. While all of these offered some nice benefits, all of them also...

Quoting Gizmodo to prove a point about Apple makes as much sense as drinking Diet Pepsi to lose weight. You mean the commercials that pit an early-40s, clueless, fashion faux-pas suffering PC versus a mid-20s, well-groomed, witty Mac? Yeah, I see your point.

It'd be an easier program to diagnose if it weren't a laptop. You might want to blow it out with canned air though if you have some. In my experience, artifacts like these have been caused by overheating GPUs or ones caked with too much dust.

Some even take it further than this. In talking to a friend earlier, he mentioned that he doesn't even consider a notebook to be a PC, but rather just desktops. I can see where he's coming from. For decades, PCs meant "desktop" to everyone, even though the term is in fact rather open-ended and...

When Apple releases a new product, there are a couple of things that make the launch interesting. First, the hype level tends to border on asinine, and second, there are always going to be those select few who waste away some of their days sitting outside of an Apple store waiting to get their...

Valve has kicked off a Steam 'Autumn Sale' that runs straight through until the end of the weekend. As per the norm, there will be a collection of unique games offered each day with varying levels of savings, though if today's sales are anything to go by, you can expect to see at least 50 - 75%...
